The Recommendation outlines the scope of, goals and ambitions for the common European data space for cultural heritage to accelerate the digitisation of cultural heritage, in line with the European strategy for data.
It invites EU Member States to set clear digitisation and digital preservation goals and sets indicative targets for content contribution to Europeana and the data space. Notably, it encourages Member States to digitise in 3D all monuments and sites deemed at risk and 50 % of the most physically visited cultural and heritage monuments, buildings and sites by 2030, and to pay special attention to specific categories of heritage assets with low level of digitisation. Furthermore, it calls on Member States to make all public funding for heritage digitisation projects conditional upon making digitised content available in Europeana and the data space.
2 years into its adoption, Member States are obliged to report to the European Commission of actions taken in response to the Recommendation.
